I wrote: Thus, you claim you are of the elect for heaven, because you say so.

You responded: No, God says so.

I'm tempted to reply with a wise-crack, but I don't see the point in discussing what you think God said to you.

Is this one addressed to me? Can I respond? I don’t want to tread on your personal thread.

what you think God said to you.

This is one part where Protestants believe RCs have blinders on. For some reason, they dismiss the word of God as a direct means of God speaking to men and instead, they put their trust in fallible men and word-of-mouth instructions.

Do you actually not believe God is speaking to you in Scripture, jo kus? Why in the world did God write the Bible if not to speak to His children and to teach them righteousness and to inform them of their justificaiton by Christ on the cross?
